    Default Flexible or Normal ?

    Hi all,

    Almost finished my own monster bathroom project and my grandparents like it so much they are getting me to do theirs for them (thats an easy christmas present out the way ;-)

    Im going to do the walls and floor, will overboard the floor with 18mm ply (have some left over from my project).

    I will use Flexible adhesive for the floor (and grout) but is it worth using it on the walls as well ?

    The reason I ask is that some people seem to just use flexible for everything, just an 'out of interest' question really.

    Cheers.

    (the walls are block work and plastered by the way NOT plaster board)
